If Xbox is more your speed, we found some great deals there too.

The Best Xbox deals

If you're looking for a dystopian game full of blood, guts, and visceral combat, Atomic Heart should give you everything you want and more. Much like Fallout, you'll find broken promises of Utopia, mutated creatures, and visual landscapes pleasing to the eye.

(Amazon) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion $24.99 at Amazon
$49.99 Save $25.00 Shop Now

Final Fantasy Crisis Core was a wonderful little portable game that filled in all the gaps from Final Fantasy 7. Who exactly was Zach? Why did he save Cloud? And why did he die in the process? And what did it really mean to be a soldier? You got all those answers and more in the, admittedly occasionally tedious, game. The big problem? You needed a PlayStation Portable. Well not anymore, now you can get a remastered version for Xbox One and Xbox Series X, and at a discount. That's a critical hit!

(Amazon) PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S $22.99 at Amazon
$37.99 Save $15.00 Shop Now

Wireless controllers are nice and convenient, but you know what else they are? Expensive. If you don't mind tethering to your Xbox, you can save a bundle (especially with this sale) by grabbing this PowerA controller for Xbox Series X|S. It comes with a 9.8ft detachable cord, dual rumble motors, and mappable buttons. Not bad considering you're spending less than half the price for a wireless model.

(Amazon) WD_Black 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S $124.99 at Amazon
$149.99 Save $25.00 Shop Now

You might think having a terabyte of storage is plenty of space for the Xbox Series X, but it really isn't. You'll lose a lot to the OS, and modern games can easily take up more than a hundred gigs each. By the time everything is said and done, you might have room for just six or seven games, and then the "what can I uninstall to make room for something else?" game begins. Don't settle for that. Get this WD_Black expansion card. It slips into the back of the console, and is more or less treated as the same storage as what came with your Xbox. So you get all the same quick resume features, with the added bonus of actually having room for more than a few games. And with this sale, now's the best time to expand your Xbox.

Nintendo didn't miss out on the party either, and we found some great sales today during Amazon's Prime Day.

The Best Nintendo Deals

(Amazon) Super Mario Maker 2 $59.99 at Amazon
Shop Now

Sure, you can play Mario games on your Switch. But why play someone else's levels when you can make your own? You don't have to stick to one era either. Super Mario Maker 2 will let you create levels that look SNES games, Wii games, and more. And once you have a terrifying level no one can beat, you can upload it for everyone else to enjoy. Or you can take run at someone else's levels for inspiration. The choice is yours!

(Amazon) Cuphead for Nintendo Switch $24.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $15.00 Shop Now

Speaking of terrifyingly difficult games, Cuphead is a great game if you love something difficult to beat. Originally an Xbox exclusive, this platformer made the jump to Nintendo Switch, high difficulty level and all. Even if you don't love challenging platformers, Cuphead is worth a buy just to see the levels alone. They're hand drawn in a classic cartoon style from the 1930s. You even get the Delicious Last Course expansion at no extra cost, a nice bonus considering it's on sale.

(Amazon) HORI Split Pad Pro for Nintendo Switch $59.99 at Amazon
Shop Now

The Nintendo Switch is a great little portable gaming system—except for its "Joy-Con" controllers. A few hours of holding those tiny gadgets, and your hands will be feeling anything but joy. That's why it's best to upgrade to something far more comfortable. And in this case, very pretty too. The HORI Split Pad Pro gives a comfortable controller that connects directly to the Switch just like Joy-Cons. And they're great to look at too, thanks to artwork taken straight from Zelda Breath of the Wild. Buy this and your hands will thank you.

(Amazon) Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle $299.00 at Amazon
$369.00 Save $70.00 Shop Now

It wasn't easy, but we found a console on sale during Amazon's Prime Day bonanza. Yes, you'll pay the usual price of a Nintendo Switch, but this time you'll get extras. This bundle hasn't been seen since Black Friday, so don't miss out. Splurge and you'll not only get the Switch, but also a copy of Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three month Switch Online subscription. The online subscription grants access to a host of other games from NES and SNES, so you can relive the glory days. Or show your kids what true gaming was about. We won't judge.
